About The Project

Partnering with VMAN and Ford Models, in May and June 2009 SHOWstudio offered our male viewers the chance to become the next face of men's fashion. Chosen from over a thousand entrants by Nick Knight and Simon Foxton, our first finalist D'Marco Jones will be shot, with our cameras broadcasting every move. A real-life real-time editorial will unfold before your very eyes as we upload Nick Knight's unretouched images live.

The search continues!

The first of Simon Foxton's looks for D'Marco Jones, as captured on our live shoot

The initial leg of our VMAN Model Search ended in July with our live shoot featuring our first finalist, D'Marco Jones. However, as our other finalist was unable to attend the shoot, the search is now on for a second model to feature in the VMAN 16 editorial shoot alongside D'Marco. The VMAN contest is now open to new entrants, with the final deadline set at 14 September 2009 - so get uploading your photographs and videos now! The final winner, chosen from our two finalists, receives representation from Ford Models and the cover of VMAN 16. Just to add an extra frisson of anticipation for our viewers (and maybe the winner), Nick Knight's follow-up shoot this Autumn is scheduled to take place in front of a rapt audience of exhibition-goers in our live photographic studio as part of SHOWstudio:Fashion Revolution at Somerset House. Exhibitionism indeed!
